Police evacuated nearby homes and cordoned off a 500-yard perimeter around the crater. Security officials were on guard for possible looters and curious onlookers.
Maybe someone needs to step off the distance to make sure, but if that's 500 yards, then it looks like I can hit a nine iron about 500 yards in Guatemala.

I would not get within 2000 yards of that hole. Those officer just feet away, should have safety lines tied on their body.

Not sure if anyone else pointed it out to you, that 500 yard figure is in terms of perimeter, or circumference, and not measured radially.
